The Lumberjacks made a splash in the first round of the Phase II draft with Viktor Norringer, an uber-talented Swedish forward. A 2024 NHL draft pick of the Nashville Predators, Norringer scored 57 points in 39 games in the Swedish J20 Nationell League.

Round 3, Pick 34 - Jean-Samuel Daigneault

With the 34th overall pick, the Lumberjacks went back to Quebec and selected Jean-Samuel Daigneault from Collège Charles-Lemoyne Riverains. A smooth-skater and big-framed defenseman, Daigneault scored 17 points in 42 points from the blue line last season.
